This was a commission to recreate a vintage dress and coat from the 50's pattern. Scroll to the end to see the inspiration photo. I was fortunate to find a lightweight cotton in an stripe that is just the right scale, almost the same colors. Both the sleeveless dress and coat have full circle skirts and are completely lined in silk/cotton. As you can see from the pics, the striped of the skirts of the dress and coat go in opposite directions. The coat closes with a hook and thread loop, then ties at the front. Matching all these stripes was a bit of a challenge but it turned out adorable, IMHO.
